In this paper, we investigate the differential-difference equation $(f(z+c)-f(z))^2+P(z)^2(f^{(k)}(z))^2=Q(z)$, where P(z), Q(z) are nonzero polynomials. In addition, we also investigate Fermat type q-difference differential equations $f(qz)^2+(f^{(k)}(z))^2=1$ and $(f(qz)-f(z))^2+(f^{(k)}(z))^2=1$. If the above equations admit a transcendental entire solution of finite order, then we can obtain the precise expression of the solution.

We investigate the non-existence of finite order transcendental entire solutions of Fermat-type differential-difference equations [f(z)f'(z)]ⁿ + P²(z)f^m(z + 𝜂) = Q(z) and [f(z)f'(z)]ⁿ + P(z)[∆_𝜂f(z)]^m = Q(z), where P(z) and Q(z) are non-zero polynomials, m and n are positive integers, and 𝜂 ∈ ℂ \ {0}. In addition, we discuss transcendental entire solutions of finite order of the following Fermat-type differential-difference equation P²(z) [f^(k)(z)]² + [αf(z + 𝜂) - 𝛽f(z)]² = e^r(z), where $P(z){\not\equiv}0$ is a polynomial, r(z) is a non-constant polynomial, α ≠ 0 and 𝛽 are constants, k is a positive integer, and 𝜂 ∈ ℂ \ {0}. Our results generalize some previous results.
